The FBI raided Project Veritas on a pretext and is now leaking their privileged communications to the New York Times

This is a scandal

These are classic privileged communications

PV asked for a legal opinion on potential journalistic activities, that opinion is a privileged communication

No idea what @adamgoldmanNYT was thinking here, he should be subpoenaed tomorrow and forced to reveal his criminal source

I didn’t even think about the fact that PV is currently in litigation with the New York Times

Makes it all the more appalling that the NYT would be publishing Veritas’ privileged communications

If the New York Times has these memorandums - why wouldn’t it also have PV’s privileged communications that relate directly to PV’s lawsuit against the Times?

This is just a massive, massive scandal

The New York Times delenda est

This isn’t journalism, this is straight up theft

Hey @adamgoldmanNYT maybe you should have gotten a legal opinion for the in-house lawyers at the Times before you went and published privileged legal advice from an adversarial party

Lol cc: @BadLegalTakes

UPDATE: Looks like @adamgoldmanNYT should have asked legal after all

The @nytimes is now facing an order to show cause, and is prohibited from further disseminating Project Veritas' classified information
